How to Clean and Care for BabyBjorn Bibs

Quick Answer

Machine wash BabyBjorn bibs on hot with like colors and tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener to preserve the Tencel fabric and the spill pocket's shape.

Step-by-Step Bib Care Routine

1. Pre-treat Stains: Rinse food or drool stains under cold water immediately. Apply a small amount of gentle laundry detergent directly to the stain and let it sit for 5 minutes. Avoid hot water on fresh stains—it can set protein-based stains from milk or food.
2. Machine Wash on Hot: Place bibs in a mesh laundry bag to protect fasteners. Wash on hot with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the Tencel fibers and reduce absorbency. Hot water ensures thorough cleaning, but always check that the detergent is free of bleach.
3. Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry: Tumble dry on low heat until slightly damp, then remove and reshape the bib, especially the spill pocket on feeding bibs. Alternatively, hang to air dry completely. High heat can shrink the bib or distort the pocket. If air drying, reshape the pocket while wet.
4. Inspect Fasteners and Fabric: After drying, check that the adjustable fastener (poppers) still closes securely and that the fabric has no fraying or holes. Replace the bib if the fastener no longer holds. A worn fastener can pose a choking hazard. Discard the bib if the poppers are loose or broken.
